Marco Polo Lake
This small not accessed much but one can fish for Rainbow Trout on this lake and do bird watching. It's a steep hike down to the lake. Because there is no march and just have a rocky shoreline waterfowl are not really attracted to this lake. Fishing: Rainbow Trout. Directions: From Moses Lake take HWY 17 south toward Othello; turn right (west) on HWY 262/O'Sullivan Dam Road. Approximately 2 miles up the road on your left (south) you will see the entrance to Sheep Lake Rd. Follow this road a couple miles all the way to the sign indicating Marco Polo Lakes. The gravel road to the lake is short and comes to a small gravel road. From the parking lot is a steep trail to the water's edge.
